After 10 years since its last online face-lift, the City of Citrus Heights unveiled its new website Thursday — intending to provide new content, better navigation and more interactive features for online access to local government services.
Determining the site was outdated and in need of a redesign, the city council awarded a contracted to CivicPlus back in February of this year, with the project costing $75,984, according to City Clerk Amy Van. The council will view a presentation of the website during a special meeting Thursday evening.
The new site features a responsive design to allow proper viewing on mobile devices, as well as a more user-friendly site navigation — which the City said it hopes will make it easier to find information and interact with local government. The site also features a “Welcome to Citrus Heights” page for newcomers, a customizable homepage for regular visitors, a redesigned upcoming events calendar and sign-ups for email alerts.
A mobile app will also be available for both Android and Apple phones in the next few weeks, according to Van.
The City’s new website is viewable at http://www.CitrusHeights.net/.
